	The '''Mercedes-Benz 600''' was a large luxury [[automobile]], intended to represent the absolute pinnacle of [[automobile]] engineering. When introduced in September, 1963, it had few competitors, except [[Rolls-Royce Limited\|Rolls-Royce]] and some US-made limousines. It was intended to be driven primarily by a chauffeur, not the owner, thus a power divider window separating the front seats from the rear bench seat was available.

			===Background===
	Production began in 1964 after considerable ramp-up, with most styles built through 1972. The oil crisis, as well as the introduction of new range of [[Mercedes-Benz S-Class\|S-Class]] models, slowed demand. Modest production continued to 1981, however.

The oil crisis, as well as the introduction of new range of [[Mercedes-Benz S-Class\|S-Class]] models, slowed demand. Modest production continued to 1981, however. During this time, 2,677 vehicles were made.

			Mercedes made two [[coupé]]s, one of them as a gift for Dr. [[Rudolf Uhlenhaut]] when he retired. He had designed the car, together with [[Fritz Nallinger]] and [[Karl Wilfert]]

			Some companies altered the car, according to wishes of customers. A funeral coach (hearse) was made from an SWB car. This car, and the two coupés mentioned above, survive to the present day in the United States.

			The 600 was so heavy that the largest engine of Mercedes at that time, the 6-cylinder 300, was inadequate.

Although the car's agility was inevitably compromised by its mass, the top end speed still was only equalled by the new [[Porsche 911]].

			Produced from 1964 to until 1981 in low numbers, this model had no equal in the [[Mercedes-Benz]] lineup until the introduction of the modern [[Maybach 57]] and [[Maybach 62\|62]] models.

			The 600's "M-100" engine and air suspension were fitted to the [[Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3\|300SEL 6.3]] model in 1968, providing the lighter (and more affordable) car with more competent propulsion. Upon the introduction of the "W116" chassis, a larger version of the M-100 was installed in the limited-production [[Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9]].

			Apart from German and other governments and the Pope, famous owners of the 600 include numerous celebrities (Hugh Hefner, Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon, Jason Kay, Aristotle Onassis, Jack Nicholson, Simon Spies, Bob Jane, Elvis Presley, Rowan Atkinson, Jeremy Clarkson<ref name="clarkson-mx5">{{citeweb\|url=http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/jeremy_clarkson/article3171178.ece\|title=Mazda MX-5: It’s far too cool for you, Mr Footballer\|publisher=The Sunday Times\|author=J Clarkson\|date=January 13, 2008\|accessdate=2008-01-13}}</ref>), Communist rulers (Nicolae Ceauşescu, Josip Broz-Tito, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Kim Il-Sung, Mao Zedong, Leonid Brezhnev,<ref>{{cite news\|title=Mercedes 600: Dahingleiten wie Breschnew\|author=Oliver Bilger\|publisher=[[Spiegel Online]]\|url=http://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/0,1518,532258,00.html \|date= 31 January 2008}}</ref> Todor Zhivkov), a religious leader (Guru Maharaj Ji), and African revolutionaries (Idi Amin Dada, Jomo Kenyatta)
